Bill, I hope you don't leave, the group would lose a great resource. I
know how you feel, there's so much going on it seems like no one is
listening. I learn something from each posting, but don't respond unless I have
something truly good to contribute in an attempt to keep the "noise" down.

Hi!

I noticed that someone posted a website for the town of Jarovnice
(www.jarovnice.ocu.sk). I am wondering if anyone knows if there are websites for the towns of Lozin, Duplin and Rakocz? That is where my ancestors are from. I've searched the internet many times but haven't found anything.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hello Martha,

Your best bet is to look at this site, select the letter the village/town
name begins with and look through the list as there can be a number of
villages with the same name in different counties:

Dear Martha:

I believe that the village of DUPLIN in the Presov region of Slovakia was
called Bányavölgy in Hungarian. The Hungarian name means "Valley of the
Mine". Here is a link to the Wikipedia page in Hungarian:

If you use Google.com to get to the Wikipedia page, Google should be able
to translate it automatically. Otherwise, you can use Google translate to
do the same. I have done a lot of historical research on a number of
villages in the territory of present-day Slovakia. For whatever reason, when I
cannot locate the village websites, etc. under the Slovak name, I often find
success locating information about the village under its Hungarian name.

Please be careful, however, because there is also another village, which
was known as RAKOCZ in Hungarian, and which is present known as RAKOVEC NAD
ONDAVOU (which is about 3 villages north of LUZIN). Here is a link to the
Wikipedia page:

With regard to the village of RAKOCZ, you may have a bit of a puzzle on
your hands, and may need to research the records of both places. Please be
very careful because sometimes certain surnames may appear in several places,
and you want to be careful not to go on any wild goose chase. Sometimes,
the genealogical puzzles can be fun; other times, they can be frustrating.
I hope that this helps a little.

I noticed that someone posted a website for the town of Jarovnice
(www.jarovnice.ocu.sk). I am wondering if anyone knows if there are
websites for the towns of Lozin, Duplin and Rakocz? That is where my ancestors
are from. I've searched the internet many times but haven't found anything.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi Peter & David,

Yes - Duplin & Rakovcik are both in Saris. I have been working on my family tree for a long time and I do have my ancestors documented in both towns as well as my husband's ancestors in Lozin (Zemplin County). In case there are any new comers the names I am researching are PUNDCZAK (Duplin), KUNDRAT (Rakovcik) and ANDRAS or ANDRASOV (Lozin or Suche).

Thank you for the suggestions regarding town websites. I will report back what I find! This group has been very helpful to me in the past and I do read every post!
